• Transient analysis for gravity system - Sensibility of valve minor loss coefficient

    Greta Gil
    Greta Gil
    Hello. I am trying to model a transient to analyse a gravity system. The first analysis I wanna do is when I close a butterfly valve which is initially 100% open with a flow of 989,00 L/s. I modeled the butterfly valve as a FCV of valve type user…
